The recording quality is not that bad, but actually i hope that someone more experienced will download it, improve the quality (noise reduction, whatever). I really believe in the collaborative power of the Internet; when it works, it works beautifully.

The flux is first and foremost due to the fact that i choose Agree or Strongly Agree differently each time. To the death penalty question i always say “Strongly Disagree”, but to the “Mothers may have careers, but their first duty is to be homemakers” i sometimes agree and sometimes strongly so. It all depends on the moment i’m answering and millions of moments that lead to it since the last time. My answers are honest and reflect how i feel.

Apparently i steadily keep moving away from Communist towards the economic right. It may have something to do with the fact that i slowly started to make real – albeit still modest – profits on the stock exchange. And in the social part i’m going back from Fascist to Libertarian, although the changes are not too significant (and i’m still on the Libertarian side).

I finally handed all the long-overdue papers for the previous semester. Technically nothing’s finished till i get the grades, and frankly i hardly deserve to pass; and i pray that the professors will be merciful about this almost endless procrastination. Still – i haven’t felt so good in almost a year.

But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the almighty
We forward in this generation triumphantly
All I ever had is songs of freedom
Won’t you help to sing these songs of freedom
Cause all I ever had redemption songs,Redemption songs.
